King Blot - Sweyn : The Last Royal Sacrificer

The Norsta stone at Uppsala that mentions King Blot Sweyn.

Christianity had taken root in Sweden much slower than in the other northern lands. Once its seeds were spread by the Christian missionaries, however, the new religion of the " White Christ " grew like weeds in a garden, and it could be found from Skane all the way to the northern territory of Lappland. Unlike the old religion of their ancestors, this new foreign religion did not seek to coexist with the old faith and customs of the people. It sought to replace it ! With the backing of Rome, the Christian kings, and other religious leaders, were determined to extinguish what they saw as the evil ways of Heathendom by whatever means necessary ! Most especially, one man, the King of Sweden named Inge wanted to halt all religious sacrifices . But there were others here in this land divided, who would not stand idly by while the religion of their ancestors was destroyed !
